Few Sunday's ago, I happen to be wondering around in an art gallery which have arts (doink, what else can an art gallery sell?!) for sale.Saw few arts, my favourites were the paintings of someone pouring red wine into his wine glass, the buddha... and my top favourite was the horse painting. Chinese loves horse (ma-in chinese). To me, the horses in the painting were so energetic and lively.... somehow the horses are running in a single focused direction. Ready to charge.
I wanted to buy it for home. I asked for the price, as usual paintings can be very expensive. I bargain till the salesperson said, "RM200 for the painting. With frame, I give u RM300." I asked if there's any more good price, he said he can't offer anymore lower, as his boss was not around. Made me wonder if it was intentional if the boss left his assistant alone in the shop.
So i did a quick move. I asked for the business card, and said I will call back by that day.
I texted dad initially if he's interested. But dad has something else in his mind. Said not to buy. Felt so sad... That painting was superb. Artistic. Amazing. Full of wows when I first glanced @ it, and dad said he's not interested. But nvm. I let go with the purchase, even though I would mention about the painting during some dinners. Heee...
Come to think of it, I have not returned the call to the art gallery salesperson till today. Let's just assume the painting is sold. That makes me feel much better...! >.<
